NEW YORK, March 3-James F. Lar
kins and Patrick Fitzgerald fought draw
of twelve rounds, for prize Of $500, early
this morning.
The fight had been arranged to take
place some days ago, but the vigilance of
the police prevented. When Fitzgerald
and fourteen Of the subscribers were dis
charged by Judge stilsing, of Jersey City,
yesterday morning. where they had been
arrested the night before, just as the fight
was about to start, they Immediately deci-
ded to have the fight at the Pastime Club
House, in this city, but again the police
appeared on the scene and the sports were
put to flight.
After looking around for place until
nearly morning, butler for private
family on Long Island, friend OF Fitz-
gerald, said the folks were away and they
could fight in the dining room OF his en-
plOyer's residence. This was agreed to,
and in the dining room of palatial man.
sion on Brooklyn Heights the fighters
stripped for the fray at quarter to
O'Clock.
Larkin was in magnificent condition,
and looked more the runner than a tighter,
Fitzgerald, who is u horseshOer, was in
fine condition, too, and the muscles stood
out in great bunches all over his body. 1t
WAS clearly to be seen that while Fitzger-
aid was punisher Larkin was a slayer
TwO-ounce gloves were used.
TwaIve slugging rounds were fought aud
IsarkiI had much the best of the battle.
During the eighth round Fitzgerald caught
= .rkin on the hack Of the head and broke
one oEthe small bones in his right arm.
At the end of the round his seconds want
ed TO throw up the sponge, but he refused
to give in From the ninth to the twelfth
round Larkin had it all his own way.
During the twelfth round, the astOnished
house owner who had unexpectedly re-
turned and had been asleep upstairs,
walked in to find prize fight in his own
dining room. He was pale with rage, and
said.
Leave here, all of you, or l will call the
police"
Some one called out: Don't let him
out. Go on with the fight" At the end
OF the round il was proposed To lock the
proprietor up in closet, but more sober
cOuuSels prevailed, and the referee decided
the fight draw, ordered the purse TO he
divided and all bets OFF.

THE GOULD STRIKES.
THE CURTIN COMMITTEE PRESENTS A
LENGTHY REPORT.
A Review Of the LsbOr Troubles in ths Southwest
The Grievances Of the LabOring Men
The Pope Will Act PsVOrsbly To-
ward the K. Of L.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Chairman Cur
tin, of the Special Committee of the House
appointed at the first session OF Congress
on the Southwestern railroad strike, sub
mitted report to-day.
1t is taken up largely in a review of the
strike, its inception and progress, with
which the country is familiar, and states
that the loss of the nine thousand men en-
gagged in it, for the fifty days they were
ont, aggregated 5000, 900, while the nom
striking employees suffered TO the extent
of $500, 600, and the railroads by loss of
property and revenues suffered Ia the ex-
tent of 81. 500, 900.
The loss TO the public cannot, the report
says, be computed. Combined labor
against combined capital is endorsed. The
committee observ, that whatever may be
the defects of the Interstate Commerce
law, an enlightened commission soon to be
appointed will recommend prompt legisla-
lion to give the protection which is needed
to those who are interested in the regular
and proper operation and management of
the railroads.
The committee concludes that arbitration
cannot be effective, for the reason that
there must be two parties to the arbitra
tion, and either may decline, and when
disturbances occur it would not be effective
in Immediately redressing wrongs or
restoring the means of transit Of persons or
property TO the people of the country.
1t is concluded further that the Missouri
Pacific employees had grievances, of which
they had Just reason to complain, and
these may have extended or enlarged the
strike. The general oppression complained
of was generally by subordinatcs who had
power over certain persons employed on
the road. They were asked To work with
out pay and without sufficient sleep and
rest. The Texas Pacific had black
list" which contained the names of some
of the persons who had grievances, and
the committee declares that by no combi-
nation of capital or to no extent of incor-
porate powers can the listing of au Ameri
can citizen being worthy OF employment
be justi fed.
The report is unanimous one, but
some of the committee reserve the right to
differ from the conclusions of the report.

The Third Ward school Children Have 10

Miss Meholin, principal of the Third
ward school, has inaugurated system in
the school that in case of fire would save
many lives 1t is fire drill, of which
some mention WAS made in the last meet
ing of the Board of Education. At Ger
tain hour each day all the pupils are re-
qured to 20 through this drill just a. il
there were fire, II consists of the pupils
Joining hands in the aisles ut % tap Of the
big bell, and marching quietly but quickly
out of the building. The lower floor
pupils leaving first, then the second and
third respectively. The drill was begun
ten days ago, and at first some Of the young
children would become 80 frightened that
their legs would refuse TO support them,
and they would fall To the iloOr, which
accounts for the large loss of liie incident
to tire scene in school. But now, after
ten days drill, all baye confidence in
themselves, and they march out ] he
soldiers. . A trial was made day or two
ago To ascertain how quickly the Duilding
could De emptied and just in one minute
from the tap of the school bell, every soil
tary pupil, and there are 600 of them, was
outside Of the building.
This is something remarkable and goes
TO show what discipline will bring about.
1t would not be bal idea, and is talked
OF, to send in an alarm to the Fire depart
ment some Friday afternrnn aud give -
practical test of how far the children conld
beat the department. This is certainly
system that every school in this city should
adopt.

He saw Two Men Throw a Body Into the

INDIANAPoIIs, March 3.-Henry Page,
a track-walker on the Belt road, states that
late Saturday night, ~ he was making his
usual rounds, and had approached the
bridge that crosses White river, near Nor
rls street, his attention was arrested by the
rapid approach of hack driven furiously
by two men on the box seat.
He Withdrew 10 the side of the road and
concealed himself The hack stopped near
the river bank, when the two men hastily
jumped down, opened the hack door and
pulled the body ola man out They drag
ged him TO the river bank and threw him
out as far as they could.
Page says he heard the body drop, and
then the two men hurriedly returned to
the hack and drove away. Page at once
notified q Deputy sheriff and the Coroner.
An investigation has been going on quietly
ever since. \ soft ielt hat was yesterday
found lodged in some driltwOod below the
place where the man was dropped into the
river, but no further developments have
occurred to solve the mysterious affair.
Page said he was afraid to approach the
men at the time, as he thought they might
kill him

VIENNA, March 3-The Bulgarian
troops who have revolted at Silistria have
cut the telegraph wires, delaying the trans
mission of details Of the occurrence. Tho
troops sent by the Government 10 over
power the revslters arrived before Silistria
yesterday.
A Paris dispatch says; Telegrams from
Bulgaria have been received here stating
that the Silistria garrison occupies the de-
file Leiore the city, and by virtue Of the
position ~ held prevents the passage
through the deiile of the garrisons from
Rustchuck and Schumla on their way 10
attack the rcvolleis ut Silistria. The OPP
posing forces, the dispatches say, now con-
front each other, but as yet no conflict has
taken place between them.
Another insurrectiouary movement il re-
ported To have taken place near TAisr-
BazaTdiik in Eastern Rounielia, u shoIt dis
tance from Phillipopolls.
Ronmania is ma'sing troops along her
frontier as measure oI preCauiion.
Turkish troops are being concentrated
along the ROumelian frontier.
A dispatch from Bucharest says: II isan.
nounced here that the revolt oi the troops
at Silistria has been Suppressed. A colonel
who took part in the mutiny WAS killed.
During the absence OF the garrison iron,
Rusichuk revolt took place there. Fir
ing has also been heard in the direction Of
Glurgeyo. Communication between Iou-
mania and Bulgaria has been stopps,i
The leaders Of the insurgents at Silistria
have crossed the Danube and have been
placed In custody by the Roumanian au-
